Summary

Game Description

Within a world of enchantment and wonder, evil resides in an ancient castle. Ico, a young boy born with horns, has been expelled from his village and left within this isolated fortress. Embarking on a perilous quest to save himself as well as a beautiful princess, Ico must find a way to escape. However, escaping will be no easy task. Every towering staircase and stone block is a piece of a puzzle. Every open window, dangling chain and razor thin escape illuminates another mystery.

The legend called Ico

After playing through this game for the third time I had to revise my score. I had already given it a high score but not a 5. There are beautiful looking games out there but nothing like Ico. Everything about the game shines from the story to characters. The game just has such a beautiful atmosphere to it. Yes you have to save the girl but she's with you when your doing it. You have to solve a series of puzzles and fight dark spirits to escape. All you have is a stick or sword and of course your wits. The designers created a world like no other. I think it's better than (gasp) Zelda. It's not as deep as Zelda but the experience is just as satisfying to me. Look for the upcoming sequel Nico. This is a must own so grab it while you can. I'm going to pick up an extra copy myself.

Ok how the heck do you get pass the crappy wind mill!

Good game, i think... if could get past that god dam wind mill!! The wind Mill is a bad think i hate all wind mills now. if you see sothing in the news about some kid running around destroying wind mills that might be me or some one elese that played ICO.

    You?re a boy. You were born with horns. Your neighbors think you?re the devil. They lock you in a surreal castle, and now you?re saving a babbling foreign girl from shadow demons. Don?t you hate it when that happens?
